9/100 is 9/100 in its simplest form.
You can also say that 9/100=0.09
Answer:
x=4
ME=9
AM=18
AE=27
Because m in the midpoint ME is double AM
2(4x-7)=5x-2 4(4)-7 5(4)-2 18+9
8x-14=5x-2 16-7 20-2 =27
<u>-5x -5x</u> =9 =18
3x-14=-2
<u> +14 +14</u>
<u>3x</u>=<u>12</u>
3 3
x=4
X + y = 62
x - y = 12
Move x over so y is alone in one of the above equations,
y = 62-x
Now substitte in y
x-(62-x) = 12
x - 62 + x = 12
2x = 12 + 62
2x/2 = 74/2
x = 37
Now for y sub in the x!
x + y = 62
(37) + y = 62
y = 62 - 37
y = 25.
So 25 + 37 =62
and 37 - 25 = 12
Method 2 :
Start by stacking the 2 original equations from above,
x+y=62
x-y=12
You want to "cancel" out one of the variable so,
x+y=62
+ + = +
x - y =12
So then you add,
2x = 74
2x / 2 = 74 / 2
x = 37.
Now you can once again sub it back into the original equation to solve for y,
x+y=62
(37)+y=62
y=62-37
y=25
Hope this helps!
